How can I tell the difference between a ceramic coated and stainless steel header?
Generally, the third character in our header part number indicates whether a DC Sports header system is ceramic coated or stainless. Using the 1999-00 Honda Civic Si as an example, the ceramic coated system part number is HHC5504 (the C indicating a ceramic finish). For the same application, the stainless steel header system part number is HHS5504 (the S indicating a stainless finish). Because we offer some stainless systems in a brushed or polished finish, some stainless systems also have a B suffix for brushed or S suffix for polished at the end of the part number. For example, the brushed 99-00 Si stainless header part number is HHS5504B, and the polished version is HHS5504S. If we do not list a stainless part number for an application, we do not make it in stainless steel. If a stainless steel application is only available in one type of finish, it is indicated by a B or and S at the end of the part number. For our Race headers, we identify stainless steel systems with a B or an S
